Hi girls

I would like to hear from anyone who have had unders not overs regarding soft/natural feeling breasts. I am now 6 weeks and had unders. They are soft in places but are firm in others. Not squidgy at all. Can anyone tell me who have had unders how long this will take before they feel like real boobs. Also they have not dropped or fluffed (I think). I am very happy with the shape and size but would like them to be more pliable.

Have phoned Elyzea and they said it can take up to one year but I don't want to wait that long. They also said to massage them. How do I do that. Put my hand on one boob and squeeze etc. I've never been one for touching myself!!

Would appreciate some advice.

I had come across a good video on how to masage them but I cudnt find it again n found this one instead .. http://www.womensplasticsurgery.com/video_massage--aug.html

Thers no way I cud push mine up like the on in that video !

I am 6 weeks post op, had unders n I am able to push them slightly together now, so I guess they are gettin softer, but otherwise they are still very hard esp at the bottom. I have a check up appoinment in a weeks time n I wil see what they say, but on my op day they also told me it can take up to a year for all changes to happen ..ie dropping and them becomin soft .. arghh ..losing patience with them already !

Hi Vicky

I'm just over 8 weeks post op with unders and uplift. I would say that only this past week have I noticed a real difference in mine. They are alot more pliable and softer but still bit hard in places maninly to the outside. Also when I lie down they feel solid underneath, but they have got softer with time.

To massage them I just get some cream and then rotate my fingers in cirles around the breast, then my jurse told me to psuh them together and hold for a few seconds.

Hope this helps

i had unders 4 weeks ago and mine r still firm. anyway 2 massage the nurse told me to cup my boob with one hand (underneath) and with the other to hold boob and rotate in circles. mine used 2 be like rocks but did start 2 soften a bit after doing this.

i'd love to know whan they soften. does any1 know?

Had BA on 27 May, when do i need to start massaging? Thanks Emma x x x

When I phoned Elyzea they told me at 5/6 weeks. Have been doing it for a week or so but have not really notices any difference, but I will keep at it and when I have my first follow-up appointment on 24 June in Manchester I will ask for advice etc.

At present they are a bit soft/firm when I relax my arms/muscles but as soon as I tense they go rock hard. What I think is because they are under my muscle and I have strong chest muscles I will always have hard boobs when tensing.

Cant help with unders cos i had overs,but with regards to massage....

The nurse told me to sort of rub them from the sides in towards the nipple....so youre sort of pushing them together as you go,then from the top downwards to the nipple to help them drop.That was what she classed as massage.

Hope that helps a little bit.

i am only 9days post op and have been told to massage them from 2 weeks on and then indefinatly for the rest of there lifes.

Have been told to place both hands/fingers above nipple of one brest at a time and 'press' them alternativly. So you get almost a pawing effect. Was told NEVER to do this below the nipple with unders.

massgae will also greatly reduce your cances of getting a rejection i.e capsular contracture

Any idea why you're not supposed to do that. I have been. You have me worried now.
